Chapter 483： 1st wave of grey animals

The praised Bashpozuk cavalry unit let out a strange cry, and the head of the Cossack cavalry that had been held in their hands was also thrown into the air by them.

The behavior of the Bashpozuk cavalry made Major General Conrobel, who was already somewhat disgusted by their style, even more dissatisfied. Major General Conrobel had subconsciously equated the Bashpozuk cavalry with barbarism.

Although Major General Canrobert disliked the behavior of the Bashos-Pozuk cavalry, he did not interfere with it, because the experience of fighting in the province of Algiers taught him that he could not be too demanding of them to remain civilized.

Because the European and Arab cultures are very different, if they rush to replace the Arab culture with European culture, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary conflict of ideas with them.

Major General Conrobel, who was unwilling to cause a split in the camp, only ordered the lower Bashozuk cavalry to pick up the Cossack's head, and then ordered them to return to the camp where they were stationed.

After the Bashpozuk cavalry returned to the camp following Conrobel's order, Major General Conrobel, who was standing there, fell into deep thought.

This was the second encounter between coalition troops and Cossack troops, and it was also the first confrontation between cavalry and cavalry. Through this confrontation, Major General Conrobel clearly felt the decline of the Russian imperial army.

The Cossack cavalry unit is probably no longer the red death that shuttled between blood and fire during the Napoleonic Wars.

The decline of the military brought about by the decline of national strength is most vividly displayed in the Russian imperial army.

A hunch in the dark told Major General Conrobel that it would not be long before their troops would face off against the Russian Imperial Army.

Major General Conrobel immediately ordered Captain Jerome Patterson to call the commander of the three kingdoms of Insatu to his tent.

Captain Jerome Patterson, who received the order, saluted Major General Conrobel and turned to leave.

That night, after Major General Conrobel explained the situation to the heads of the three kingdoms, he deployed tasks to them one by one.

"Everyone, I hope you will be ready for the next battle!" Major General Conrobel said solemnly to everyone present: "The next battle may be beyond our imagination. ."

After hearing Conrobel's words, the commander of the Three Kingdoms of Yingsatu also became tensed up.

After the meeting, a battalion of Juaff and a battalion of the Scottish Musketeers entered the trenches, their task was to prepare for a possible nighttime raid by the Russian army.

On the other hand, General Gorchakov, who led the Cossack cavalry to flee in a hurry, returned to the camp where the Polish Legion was stationed, and he was greeted by Brigadier General Orlov, the commander of the 1st Division of the Polish Legion, and Shih, the commander of the 2nd Division. Major General Alder.

"Deputy Commander Gorchakov!" Brigadier General Orlov and Major General Scherder shouted in unison as they looked at General Gorchakov on his horse.

"Go, let's go inside!" Gorchakov dismounted from his horse and handed over the war horse to the guards.

Immediately, the three Gorchakovs entered the exclusive camp of Brigadier General Orlov Jr.

Gorchakov, who was sitting in the camp chair, told Little Orlov and Scherder about the trenches, spiked barricades, and barbed wire he had seen outside the French camp.

"This time, the enemy we are facing is different from the Turkish army! They are more difficult than we imagined, so I hope you can be mentally prepared!" Gorchakov solemnly told the little Orlov with Scherder.

After hearing the arrangement of the coalition troops, Brigadier General Orlov and Major General Scherder also showed solemn expressions on their faces.

"Your Excellency Deputy Commander, how many people are there? Is the army in our hands capable of eating them!" Little Orlov asked in a cautious tone.

"I don't know the size of this vanguard, but according to the size of their camp, it can be inferred that their size is about 7,000-8,000! (Actually, this vanguard has a total of 6,400 people, of which 1,000 are cavalry. . Gorchakov responded cautiously.

"Our two divisions have a total of 32,000 people, plus a Cossack cavalry regiment of 1,400 people, which means that we have a total of 33,400 troops in our hands!" General Scherder counted the existing troops and said with a smile: "If the number of this vanguard is calculated at 8,000, that means the gap between us and this vanguard is about 3 to 1! Your Excellency Deputy Commander, I suggest that we use our existing superior forces to fight against this vanguard. The troop adopts the tactic of encircling and not attacking, which wears away the will of the army, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties of our army due to the strong attack. After the enemy's will to fight is completely eliminated, our army can gradually Cannibalize this lone army!"

Schirder believed that under the absolute advantage of three to one force, siege and not attacking was obviously the best tactic.

"No!" Brigadier General Orlov on the side shook his head, he did not agree with General Scherder's idea.

Brigadier General Orlov believed that behind this vanguard, there must be a larger coalition force heading here.

If the Polish Legion cannot defeat this coalition vanguard as soon as possible, once the follow-up troops of the coalition arrive on the battlefield, the Polish Legion and even the Danube Legion will be in danger of being attacked from both sides.

The Polish Legion must destroy the coalition vanguard as quickly as possible, and use their destruction to deter the coalition troops, thus buying time for the attacking troops of the Silistra fortress.

Brigadier General Orlov also believed that the defensive positions built by the coalition forces in such a short period of time were surprising, but he also explained that the defensive positions themselves were nothing but the product of hasty promotion.

Its defenses are far less fortified than the Silistra fortress. As long as the Russian Imperial Army is willing to pay a certain price of casualties, they can capture this position in a very short period of time.

At the same time, Brigadier General Orlov hopes that the headquarters near the Silistra fortress can transfer two artillery regiments to them, so that they will have enough ability to attack this defensive position, while avoiding large of casualties.

In the face of Brigadier General Orlov's request, Gorchakov shook his head and said: "Commander Paskevich will not agree to transfer the two artillery regiments here, he must do it as quickly as possible. Take Silistra!"

Compared with annihilating this vanguard force, capturing the Silistra fortress is indeed a more important task.

If the fortress of Silistra cannot be captured, then the Russian Imperial Army may only have to retreat.

"Then we can only rely on our infantry to fight a **** path!" Little Orlov frowned and said in a heavy tone.

"Yes!" General Scherder also nodded in agreement.

Later, Gorchakov gave an order to the two division commanders present: "I plan to launch an attack on the coalition camp at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, Commander Orlov!!"

"Yes!" Brigadier General Little Orlov straightened up and responded with a sonorous force.

"Your first division is in charge of this offensive battle!" General Gorchakov said to Brigadier General Orlov Jr. "I need to see results in the shortest possible time, can you hear me clearly!"

"Understood! I will definitely overcome this nail placed on the flank of our army in the shortest possible time!" Brigadier General Orlov responded to General Gorchakov with a grim look on his face.

"Very good!" General Gorchakov nodded with satisfaction, and then asked General Scherder to prepare a reserve for the 1st Division under Orlov Jr. to take over the 1st Division and fight against the coalition forces at any time.

……

As the darkness gradually receded, the morning sun broke through the hazy fog and slowly rose from the east, a huge army was slowly approaching the camp of the coalition army.

The soldiers of the Zhuav regiment stationed in the trenches hurriedly notified Brigadier General Bazin in the tent of the situation. Brigadier General Bazin turned and ran to Major General Conrobel's tent to report.

A look of surprise appeared on Major General Conrobel's face when he heard Bazin's report. Although he had expected the Russian Imperial Army's attack, he did not expect their attack speed to be so fast.

"understood!"

Major General Conrobel nodded to Brigadier General Bazin, and then changed into his military uniform and walked out of the tent.

When Major General Conrobel arrived at the trenchCaptain Jerome Patterson, Colonel Somerset and others had been waiting around the trench for a long time.

"Telescope!" Major General Conrobel stretched out his hand and said to Jerome Patterson.

Captain Jerome Patterson handed the telescope in his hand to Major General Conrobel. Through the lens of the telescope, Conrobel saw a gray shadow in the distance. occupies the entire lens.

This group of Slavic soldiers, wearing gray military uniforms, are slowly walking towards the camp in the form of a phalanx under the leadership of their commander.

Inferring from the number of square formations, the number of this group of troops should be at least 3,000 people, or even more...

"Get the troops ready. Once the Russian army is close to the range, hit me hard!" Anti-Nobel said to Captain Jerome Patterson next to him.

Captain Jerome Patterson immediately mounted his horse and issued Conrobel's orders to every battalion in the trench.

As time went on, the Slavic army crossed the horse pit and gradually approached the barbed wire. The soldiers in the trenches all focused on aiming at the Slavic soldiers, and only after the command of their company commander, they would use Bullets taught them a hard lesson, the shame of the Napoleonic wars before a snowfall.
